In the first conversation of my three-part series with Daria, we talk about what it was like growing up as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, the pressure to conform, and the moment she realized she needed to walk away.

Leaving isn’t just about closing the door on a religion — it’s about finding yourself again. From childhood indoctrination to discovering her own identity, Daria’s story will resonate with anyone who’s questioned the life they were told to live.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
